Best Elise Poems

Ciel, on your birth day ‘twas true to say
Heaven’s bright light rays rain’d down from above
Fast forward to fifteen years to the day
Now it’s you that brings light, laughter, and love

Kind, calm and caring, words under control
Wait! Who’s that fleet girl in cleats with the...

Ava Elise

She came to us in the middle of the night,
I noticed the moonless sky had turned very bright.
Don’t ask why or ask me to explain,
I only know before, there was darkness and rain.

She seemed so radiant as I held her that day,
Looking at her...

Fur Elise I play
For you I come to stay
Up close I prick with gay
Notes of you I lay and pray

Fur Elise I travel far
Poems of you I fill my jar
Up the hill I reach for you
Down the hill I search for you

Fur Elise I sing...

Für Elise 

walking through the hidden realm of 
my heart,

whistling close by me, a poisoned 
dart, 

burning lightning in a pearly orb,

the essence of my agony you 
absorb,

echoes of a dog's anguished howl,

the opening eyes of a new-born 
foal,

ruby tears from the eyes of an...

It's almost as if Beethoven, had seen her gamin face
And had composed a melody...to match her given name
My grandchild, sweet Claire Elise, I love your name, so fair
You bear the name, so filled with grace of fragrant springtime air
Each letter, bound together, forms a soothing...

Jo- deeeeeeeeeeee
Lovely! Where have you been, Miss Jo- deeee, you?
on a treadmill to the end of the earth, and you?
A place called yearning...
I was looking for my family and got lost on the way
How is the slow bean brewing? Is it coffee of a Heinz?
It...

As the moonlight reflected on a lake
Whomever you choose to be or make,
Your mind and heart can have a choice,
Add my consent if fair according voice.

Ether happiness is just a state of mind
Like joyful clouds gather or go with wind,
All states of mind, may also...

We are Elise.
We are uncountable.
With no way to break open our locks
They designed sweet melodies as keys
And conquered countries in our name.

We are the loved and easily forgotten.
They came to us with bouquets of rose,
Like the Queens, we sat cold yet joyous
As they placed sweet...

Your royal purple scarf explodes with color 
against unwelcome December chill--
25 degrees this morning, heater 
outside I pray will last another year,
working overtime.  Your scarf
is "for cooler Florida weather," you wrote
on an accompanying card, high-
lighting a milky moon over
an indigo Vermont landscape.

"It's why I...

Für Elise in rapid succession,
That's how my mind runs.
In and out. In and out dodging daggers.
A never ending song in spirals, 
Perilous and helpless,
Chaos as I puke but the race will continue because it never stops.
Fingers strike the ivory, the ebony, black and white fast...

Oh!I still remember....
the magic in her smile,I can't dismember
Just the snap of her fingers,
turns solid stones tender.
The blue in your star filled eyes
Make the deep blue sea cry.

You are a perfect creation
And just like an animation,
You send goose bumps down my spine
Thereby making me feel...

My Wooden Belly drones... on your hunger
Hunger for the textures that line-
Crease me over
over and over, until 'fit inbetween the cracks,
slock- your sock is tired after runnin',
hangs on the rack,
the rack that has a crack,
the rack that some lack...
like men....
